Identity In Christ

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
